My objection in regard to inclusion of polls without context is directly addressed under [[WP:OR|Wikipedia's No Original Research policy]]. "Tabulated results of surveys or questionnaires" are [[WP:PSTS|primary sources]] and as such is not in and of itself a reliable source. It's placement in the France section gives rise to the very presumption put forth by [[User:Liftarn|Liftarn]], that French citizen have and most likely continues to be largely anti-arab. However, that [[WP:SYN|synthesis]] constitutes [[WP:OR|original research]] without a reliable, published secondary source making that argument. |

Service Contracts
In consumer transactions, a service contract is a contract marketed to consumers guaranteeing the reliability of a product beyond to warranties issued incidental to purchase. Such contracts typically exist to offer coverage beyond such warranties, whether in terms of duration or scope of coverage. In the event of malfunction, a service contract will specify the manner of compensation owed to the purchaser, typically in the form of a set dollar amount or indemnification for repair, replacement, or maintenance of the product. Coverage provided by service contracts is commonly limited to operational or structural failure due to defects in materials, workmanship, or normal wear and tear.
Extended Warranty
In retail business, a warranty (or "extended warranty") commonly refers to a guarantee of the reliability of a product under conditions of ordinary use. It is called "extended" warranty because it covers defects that could arise some time after the date of sale. Should the product malfunction within a stipulated amount of time after the purchase, the manufacturer or distributor is typically required to provide the customer with a replacement, repair, or refund. Such warranties usually do not cover "acts of God", owner abuse, malicious destruction, commercial use, or anything, for that matter, outside of a mechanical failure incurred with normal personal usage. Most warranties exclude parts that normally wear out, and supplies that must be periodically replaced as they are normally used up (e.g., tires and lubrication on a vehicle). An extended warranty may be included in the purchase price, or optionally extended for an additional fee, and may be for some ambiguous ordinary "lifetime" of the product (not the customer).
A manufacturer or distributor may be required to carry reserve funds on its financial balance sheet to cover potential services or refunds that may arise for any products still covered "under warranty".
There are also third-party warranty providers who sell optional "extended warranty" contracts on certain products, which amount to having an insurance contract for the product. These third parties range from well known store chains, such as Best Buy and Circuit City, to independent, often underwritten companies such as Access Warranty. As with other types of insurance, the companies are gambling that the products will be reliable, that the warranty will be forgotten or voided, or that any claims made can be handled inexpensively.
Many people do not realize that extended warranties are not always provided through the manufacturer, but in some circumstances it may work to the consumer's benefit. For instance, when an auto warranty is provided through a dealership from the manufacturer, repairs on the vehicle are reimbursed at a lower negotiated rate. Some mechanics might fraudulently attempt to defer the needed repair until the warranty has expired so that the ordinary (higher) shop rate will apply. The third party warranty, while often more expensive, can be worth the price difference because it will cover the higher shop rate as well, and may even permit the customer to select a different mechanic outside the dealership.
